The move isn’t a shocker, with the Baltimore Ravens signing safety Tony Jefferson earlier in the week. It also helps eliminate Webb’s $7.5 million cap number entering the 2017 season. The release of Webb will free up $5.5 million in salary cap space in 2017 with $2 million counting in dead money. Webb has become the latest veteran to be released by Balitmore this week as he joins outside linebacker Elvis Dumervil, cornerback Shareece Wright and safety Kendrick Lewis.

Webb was used at mainly at safety, with part-time duty at cornerback during the 2016 season as he recorded 73 tackles, one sack, one interception and five passes defensed.

With Jefferson on board to be the starter at one of the two safety positions along with fellow teammate Eric Weddle, there is little to no room for Webb on the roster. Webb played at cornerback and nickleback for Baltimore since being drafted by the team in the third-round of the 2009 NFL draft until seeing part-time duty at free safety in 2015. In 2016, Webb saw playing time mostly at safety in 2016 due to his lack of speed to be a starter at cornerback as he turned 31 years old during the season.

Webb, in his seven seasons with the Ravens, played in 111 games with a total of 443 tackles, three sacks, 13 interceptions, two forced fumbles and five fumble recoveries to go along with one interception return and one kick return for a touchdown.
